The below restrictions and detours will be in place:

Friday, 10 May

• Adelaide bound traffic will be detoured via Eagle on the Hill from 7.00pm Friday, 10 May, until 8am Saturday, 11 May.
• Crafers bound traffic will be diverted into one lane of the Adelaide bound tunnel from 9.30pm Friday, 10 May, until 8am Saturday, 11 May.

Emergency vehicles will have access to the tunnels at all times. Speed restrictions will be in place at this location while the maintenance work is undertaken.
